Appetizer we ordered was forgotten about, and offered after we ate our meal. The shrimp scampi that was supposed to accompany the steak came out after we were done eating. The wrong steak was brought out (NY Strip vs Ribeye).

Food was very good and also was seated in front of the ocean to make it extra special. Our waitress Lynn was amazing. Waited 15 minutes after reservation time but was busy so it was understandable. Great experience overall.

Service was awful. The waitress never offered to refill drinks or check that our order was correct. Mash potatoes and rice were cold. We never got the A1 sauce asked for. Bathrooms were dirty as was our tablecloth. Valet parking took over 30 minutes. Will never go back.

Made a reservation for 6pm. Upon arriving, we were told “we don’t have a table and don’t know how long it will be.” Was finally seated at 6:40pm. What’s the point of having a reservation?

The service was outstanding from the bar , the waitress Ashlyn was great , the mgr Joe gave us a great table with a beautiful view,, However the Chef is not a good chef , we first ordered fish my husband and I a seared sea bass over risotto BUT SEABASS was horrible it was so fishy we could not eat it and had to return both ,, my husband ordered then a filet mignoin and asked for it to be medium and it cake overcooked and hard no flavor and it only came with mash potatoes,,,, my order of lamb chops was cooked okay but it was not good quality it was tough ,, and also came with mashed potatoes,,, it seems the chef serves mash potatoes with everything!!! Bottom line the restaurant needs a New chef
